Top Six - November 22

So what’s hot, and what’s not, in the past week’s blogging? Here are the six most popular posts on Zelo Street for the past seven days, counting down in reverse order, because, well, I have to be out and about later. So there.

5 Sun Sharm Scandal ‘Worse Than Dowler’ The idea that the Sun had information about Sharm el-Sheikh’s dodgy security, and sat on it without telling the authorities, has the potential to be far worse for the Murdoch empire than phone hacking.

4 Mail Cartoon Racist Bigotry Exposed The recent work of Stanley McMurtry, aka Mac, shows that the Mail has not moved forward since the 1930 - when the paper openly supported the Third Reich.

3 Dan Hodges Declares War The Telegraph’s not even slightly celebrated blues artiste Whiging Dan Hodges declared that ISIS, or whatever they’re called this week, was really Jeremy Corbyn’s fault. So he made as little sense as usual.

2 Don’t Mensch You’ve Been Busted The Association of British Science Writers considered a series of complaints made against three of its members by (thankfully) former Tory MP Louise Mensch … and threw them all out.

1 Sun Paris Refugee Scare Busted The latest attempt to pretend that members of ISIS, or whatever they’re called this week, has been infiltrating refugee group, was shown to be wrong.

And that’s the end of another blogtastic week, blog pickers. Not ‘arf!
